Thinking that everyone thought the same thing as Liang Ji, no one stepped forward to persuade Liang Ji. Instead, they all looked at Liang Huanqing, hoping that she could tell them what happened yesterday so that they could rest assured.

"After entering the palace yesterday..." Liang Huanqing looked at everyone's appearance and knew that she could no longer hide it, so she had no choice but to wipe away her tears, sit up straight, and said while sobbing, "The princess and I were in the Yichun Palace of Imperial Concubine Mei.

I invite Wan'an to come out. It's the time when the palace gate is closed. I can't go back to the palace, so I plan to send a message to the palace to tell Yue Bai not to wait for me."

This has always been Liang Huanqing's normal operation. Yesterday, Yue Bai also thought that she would send someone to deliver the news to the palace, so she sent someone to wait at the palace gate. When there was no one around, she became worried and Yue Bai touched herself.

In my heart, I thought that the feeling of emptiness yesterday was not groundless, and something did happen.

"But when we just left Yichun Palace, Jiang Yi disappeared." Liang Huanqing said, his voice unknowingly filled with tears.

Everyone frowned slightly and looked at Liang Huanqing in confusion, probably wanting to know why Jiang Yi disappeared. After just a short while, Jiang Yi was no longer a child, so why did he disappear after saying that he was missing?

"The princess and I asked Eunuch Rongfu. Eunuch Rongfu said that Jiang Yi's jade was lost and he had to go to the imperial garden to find it." Liang Huanqing glanced at the jade in Yuebai's hand. "Seeing that Jiang Yi hadn't returned for a long time, the princess and I took him with him.

We went looking for someone, the palace is too big, we searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone."

Liang Huanqing was crying while talking. Qin Ruilan looked at Liang Huanqing distressedly, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and touching her hair from time to time.

Liang Ji frowned and looked at Liang Huanqing with a heavy look on his face, as if he was preparing to accept what happened next.

Yuebai even watched Liang Huanqing cry, and couldn't help crying herself. She took Jiang Yi's jade and kept stroking it. Like Liang Huanqing, she had always been a person who values ​​love and justice.

"Later, the princess asked the maid on duty in the Royal Garden to ask, and she found out that after we entered the palace, Lu Huiling came to the Imperial Garden. Jiang Yi could recognize her, but she didn't know that Lu Huiling had become the emperor's concubine at this time.

, Jiang Yi failed to salute in time, so she was taken back to her Minghua Hall by Lu Huiling for the crime of treason. When the princess and I found out, we naturally went to look for it. At that time, Lu Huiling also asked the princess and I to go there.

I've been waiting outside the door for a long time." Liang Huanqing slowly calmed down and was able to calmly tell the reason for the incident.

"Lu Huiling? Did Lu Huiling kill Jiang Yi?" Qin Ruilan said Lu Huiling's name softly. She had heard about Lu Huiling being made a concubine. As early as Lu Huiling entered the palace as a female official

At that time, Qin Ruilan knew that she was not just a female official. She also came to Liang Huanqing and told her to be wary of Lu Huiling, "I think it was to get back at you."

Liang Huanqing looked at Qin Ruilan, crying and shaking her head: "She didn't kill Lu Huiling...it was me...it was me...it was me who killed Jiang Yi..."

After a night of tossing and turning, Liang Huanqing felt more and more that the person who killed Jiang Yi was none other than herself.

Jiang Yi was specially taken to Minghua Hall by Lu Huiling because of her. It was also because of her that she was imprisoned by Lu Huiling. It was also because she had done something to Lu Huiling, and Xiao Jiang Yi felt that she was the only one who died.

Only then could he excuse the princess and hit her head on the wall of the side hall. Now Liang Huanqing sniffed her wrist carefully and could still smell Jiang Yi's blood.

Hearing her answer, everyone was speechless. How could it be her? If it was really her who killed Jiang Yi as she said, then how could she be so distressed and sad?

"Good boy, speak slowly and don't be in a hurry." Qin Ruilan showed off her usual considerate attitude, touched Liang Huanqing's head, and asked gently.

No matter what Liang Huanqing said, Qin Ruilan would never believe that she killed Jiang Yi.

"After we saw Lu Huiling, we went to her to ask for someone, but she made things difficult for us. She told us that Jiang Yi was killed by her stick, so Princess Wangshu ran to find Concubine Mei. After she left, I was the only one left.

Lu Huiling kept irritating me with Jiang Yi's death, so I raised my hand and slapped her," Liang Huanqing said.

When Qin Ruilan heard that she slapped Lu Huiling, she gently stroked the hand on her back and paused. She didn't know that Liang Huanqing could have such a domineering side and dared to slap the fourth concubine for the sake of a maid.

The more Liang Ji listened, the tighter her fists clenched. He had known that Lu Huiling had no good intentions in entering the palace, but he didn't expect that she was trying to embarrass Liang Huanqing because of old matters. Besides, she had already made Liang Huanqing suffer a lot when she was in the palace in Qishan. Fortunately

Prince Jing was still there at that time and could help her out.

But now that father and Prince Jing are gone, no one can protect Liang Huanqing except his elder brother. But Lu Huiling has now become the emperor's concubine. The disparity in status makes Liang Ji feel like a punch on cotton.

Powerless.

"Then Lu Huiling used more vicious words to describe Jiang Yi's death to me. I couldn't help but stepped forward to fight her, and was later locked up by her..." Liang Huanqing said while recalling the pain.

"Are you okay?" Qin Ruilan said worriedly, "Lu Huiling is too shameless! You are also Princess Jing of the Celestial Dynasty. She is just a concubine. How can you compare with you, the royal princess?"

Liang Huanqing raised her hand to wipe away her tears, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I didn't know Jiang Yi was dead until I got to the side hall..."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. They had just said that Lu Huiling killed Jiang Yi, and they all took it seriously. Now that Jiang Yi is not dead, is it really Liang Huanqing who killed Jiang Yi? But why?

"After Jiang Yi knew that I had attacked Lu Huiling and was imprisoned, in order to exonerate me and for fear that the emperor would blame me for this, he banged his head against the wall and died in front of me." At this point, Liang Huanqing could no longer control himself.

With her own emotions, she seemed to see the scene of Jiang Yi dying in front of her again. She covered her mouth in pain.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore... We won't talk anymore..." Qin Ruilan hugged Liang Huanqing. Everyone was sad to hear about Jiang Yi's death. Loyal servants are rare, and it is true to die for the Lord.

But Qin Ruilan knew that Liang Huanqing's seeing it with her own eyes was far more sad and profound than what they heard about it with their own ears. If she continued to talk about it, Liang Huanqing's body might not be able to bear it.

"Yuebai, help the princess go back to rest. I think she is tired too." Qin Ruilan frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Xiao'er, you go with them."

Xiao'er was standing outside the door and could hear Jiang Yi's righteous act of dying for the Lord. As sentimental as she was, she secretly wiped her tears. When the young lady called her, she hurriedly came to support Liang Huanqing and talk to Yue.

Bai went to Linlang Garden together.

After Liang Huanqing left, Liang Ji was so angry that she started shouting: "Lu Huiling is so outrageous!"

In his opinion, if Lu Huiling really killed Jiang Yi to vent his anger, but he designed Jiang Yi to commit suicide in front of Liang Huanqing, how much harm would this do to Liang Huanqing's body and mind? Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it made people extremely angry.

.

"I never thought that Lu Huiling would enter the palace and become a concubine because she hates Huanqing, just to take revenge on Huanqing?!" Qin Ruilan also changed from her usual calm demeanor, and couldn't help but scolded, "How disgusting!

"

Wei Shen watched from the side. There were some things he couldn't say, and there were some situations he didn't know, but he could really feel how scary women were.

Si Nanping lowered his head and looked at his fingers, while the folding fan kept shaking slowly. He suddenly raised his head and said: "Based on my previous superficial understanding of Lu Huiling, Lu Huiling is not such a person. She loves Prince Jing deeply.

If she enters the palace to avenge the princess just because she can't be a real princess, although it makes sense, it's unlikely. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would sacrifice her whole life just to get revenge on someone."

"In your opinion?" Qin Ruilan also knew something about Lu Huiling. She heard what Si Nanping said and felt that it was reasonable. "Lu Huiling entered the palace not just to get revenge on Huanqing and to be better than her?"

Si Nanping shook his head, looked at Liang Ji with a solemn expression, and asked: "General Liang, can you tell me what strange changes have occurred in the court recently?"

Liang Ji didn't understand what he was talking about. In the past, she had only heard that Si Nanping was known as the No. 1 Young Master in the World, but after all, he just lived in the palace all day long. He didn't seem to have done anything important, so he naturally didn't have a good impression of Si Nanping.

, I just think that he is a literati like Lu Gaohong who talks a lot.

"What do you mean?" Liang Ji asked.

"For example, His Highness the Crown Prince." Si Nanping looked at Liang Ji with serious eyes.

Hearing what Si Nanping said, Liang Ji and Wei Shen looked at each other. Although they had been busy mobilizing troops and summarizing the war situation in various places in the military camp these days, they still had to go to the morning court. What big things happened recently...

Related to the prince…

The two looked at each other and thought for a while. Liang Ji suddenly thought of something: "But about the food and grass?!"

Half a month ago, the war on the front line was tense. It was not because of the shortage of troops and improper command, but because of the shortage of food and grass. The front line repeatedly sent urgent documents to the emperor for food and grass support, and the border troops

It was desolate and extremely cold as the new year was approaching. The soldiers were in a very difficult situation. They had no clothes to keep warm and no food to satisfy their hunger. It would not be long before the 100,000-strong army retreated due to lack of food and grass.

At this critical moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led hundreds of officials to donate their salaries, take out the surplus grain in their palaces, keep the winter rations, and donate the rest to the national treasury to meet the needs of the frontline soldiers. This move inspired all officials to follow suit.

It also set a good example for merchants from all over the world. You know, in the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, any merchant there who you name is a person who is as wealthy as anyone in the country.

With the support of merchants, the frontline soldiers had food to survive the winter, and the post-war logistics was fully guaranteed. For a time, the reputation of Prince Qi Jingyang spread far and wide. The emperor even praised His Highness the Prince many times, which almost overshadowed the frontline leaders.
